Vijay, a popular actor in Tamil, finally joined Instagram. On Sunday afternoon, the actor who had been absent from the well-liked photo-sharing platform published his first entry. His followers wasted little time in keeping up with their hero for immediate updates.

The actor from Varisu posted a photo of himself grinning while perusing something as his debut post. He wrote, "Hey Nanbas and Nanbis (Hi buddies)" as the image's caption. The official Instagram page is managed by Actor Vijay's office, according to the bio.

Fans greeted their idol as soon as the actor posted his first message. Welcome Thalapathy, wrote one user, and "Ruler of film only Thalapathy Vijay," remarked another. The comment "1 Million loading within few minutes" from a few followers suggested that the 1 million follower threshold would be reached soon. Vijay's first post had over 634 thousand likes in the first hour after it was published, and his account had 500K followers. From his account, Vijay has not yet followed anyone.

The first few artists to follow the actor on Instagram included actors like Rashmika Mandanna and Keerthy Suresh, who were swiftly followed by other stars. The fervour among Vijay's supporters was so great that the hashtag "Thalapathy On Instagram" began to trend on Twitter.

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay were last seen together in the Tamil movie Varisu. His eagerly anticipated movie Leo, which is being directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is currently in the final stages of production. In addition to Sanjay Dutt, who will play a bad character, the movie also includes actor Trisha Krishnan in the lead.

The film's creators published a special video to welcome Sanjay to the set, depicting his arrival in Chennai and his first encounters with Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj. The movie, which was filmed in major part in Kashmir, is anticipated to be a part of Lokesh's multiverse, along with his previous blockbusters Kaithi and Vikram.

Finally, given that the actor is well-known for breaking box office records, it is not surprise that his presence on social media will do the same. Vijay surpassed the one million follower threshold on Instagram just a few hours after starting his account. For those who are unaware, the famed South Korean boy band BTS holds the record for gaining 1 million followers the fastest, doing so in just 43 minutes, followed by Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, who achieved the milestone in 59. Within 99 minutes, Vijay became the third celebrity to attain this milestone.
